Covid aerosol risk estimator – for schools, work, shopping, etc.
I'm sharing my ObservableHQ notebook that gives COVID aerosol risk estimates for schools, work, shopping, and other activities. You can adjust sliders to get counterfactuals/what-ifs for improving ventilation, decreasing time, etc.

https://observablehq.com/@chonghorizons/covid-individual-event-risk-calculator-v0-2

A good risk estimator is very helpful when navigating competing ideas. Some people favor ventilation. Some people better masks. Some, spacing and distancing.

It's based on the decades old Wells-Riley aerosol disease model. A google sheets risk calculator with a ton of documentation was built by Prof Jose Jimenez of Univ Colorado-Boulder. (http://tinyurl.com/covid-estimator a complex google sheets workbook).

It can help you think about doing A or B.

I didn't make any of the modeling equations. I just "reskinned" the google sheet as a menu based system with sliders and radio boxes. But it's more approachable than the google sheet.

Hope this is useful.

The moral of this story is clear but third-party developers for Apple devices don't want to face it. With a few exceptions, most Apple frameworks and application software are proprietary. If Apple's internal source code is deemed to be central to their business, outside developers will probably never get to see it. And if they can't see it, they can't fix and improve it.

If you write application software for Apple devices, you have made a Faustian bargain. You are at the mercy of the whims of Apple Software Engineering; Apple has you by the proverbial balls. If your own code is also proprietary then your customers are in the same vulnerable position, so stop complaining.

I think you are being downvoted for your overloading of the word science exactly the way politics has corrupted it. Are we supposed to just start using another word?

How about we start calling it rationality? A bit more self-descriptive, and perhaps a harder to word to weigh down with political gibberish and marketing speak. Scientific Method -> Rational Method, For Science! -> For Rationality!

Science traditionally demanded speaking in clear terms, now it is all about obscuring incentives and methods in order to P-hack a conclusion.

I think it's like the term 'prejudiced'. There's all sorts of prejudice, and some of it's not illegal, or even bad. But in normal usage, it's understood to be referring to unsavory prejudices against sex, race, etc.

Every publisher censors, and it's fine. That's part of their job. Censorship by the government, without or without the backing of law, is abhorrent (and I think that's what the term is normally understood to mean).

The muddied part are these huge enterprises that aren't part of the government, and yet whose actions against the public _feel_ like government dictates to the common man. Not decisions made between two people, like a publisher and an author... but a rule enforced by a faceless entity of overwhelming power.

I'm torn on the matter. I despise Twitter to the degree that I think negatively of anybody defending their behavior. However, I also don't want the government making laws controlling what Twitter is forced to host on their own servers.

How much can one stock up on guns? Every 4-8 years when the political cycle changes they stock up but after a few cycles the demand should grind to a halt. It's not like guns are advancing a lot either.

So I really wonder if republicans are scared when a democrat is in office and subsequently buy guns because of that or whether they are scared into buying more guns by mere marketing.

Aye, I agree. But if we consider that case, a similar mistake could be made: hard-coding argv[0]. The result is different, in that the program just aborts, but it's still the Wrong Thing To Do, and in both cases it never leads to anything exploitable. Bugs are bugs, no matter what language. We could come up with examples all day. Just head to your nearest Rust program's bug tracker :)

The following Linux distributions support different scaling factors on different displays by default: Pop!_OS, Ubuntu (and GNOME-based derivatives), Linux Mint. Arch Linux, Manjaro, and all distributions using GNOME + Wayland can also enable mixed scaling with a quick setting change.

Pop!_OS (developed by System76) created its own HiDPI daemon to handle HiDPI and LoDPI displays on X11 at the same time:

https://github.com/pop-os/hidpi-daemon

https://blog.system76.com/post/174414833678/all-about-the-hi...

It is preinstalled on all System76 computers and enabled by default.

Ubuntu's fork of the Mutter display manager (used by its fork of GNOME) includes a patch to handle different display resolutions for HiDPI and LoDPI displays on X11:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/182085...

Ubuntu and all of its GNOME-based derivatives include this patch, unless it is specifically excluded by the maintainers.

Linux Mint implemented fractional display scaling, with different settings for each display, in Cinnamon 4.6:

https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3858

Arch Linux and Manjaro users can also choose Cinnamon as the desktop environment for the same features.

If you are using a GNOME on X11 on Manjaro, you can install the mutter-x11-scaling package to replace Mutter with a version that includes Ubuntu's changes:

https://gitlab.manjaro.org/packages/extra/mutter-x11-scaling...

https://github.com/puxplaying/mutter-x11-scaling

Finally, if you are using GNOME on Wayland, mixed scaling is already supported. To enable fractional scaling, activate the "scale-monitor-framebuffer" setting:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI#GNOME

On Wayland, scaled applications that do not use GTK 3+ or Qt 5+ may appear blurry. This affects all Electron applications. X11 does not have the same issue, but Wayland is generally smoother and more stable than X11.

Has anyone figured our how Epstein made his money?

His Financial Trust asset management company seems to have had no clients and generated relatively little (declared) income. His real estate holdings all seem to be his own property. He come from a middle-class background and did not inherit his wealth.

This press seems annoyingly uninterested in this question and usually just refers to him as a "financier" without being able to point to anything he's actually financed.
Yeah, since I need to be getting weather updates I'll definitely be using NTP. 5% is pretty bad, though, that's more than an hour off a day. I guess it's not bad for short durations, and I'm assuming it mainly uses it so it can wake from deep sleep states, which is extremely useful.

And it's mostly in their head. The right was fired up for eight long years driving up the price of guns and ammo while Obama was president, meanwhile he never made even a token effort at gun control.
Of course you can, it would not be open source / free software otherwise. (Yes, some people are attempting to redefine "open source" to other meanings, but gitlab does no such thing and Open Source GitLab is truly Open Source)
Pattern recognition? It's not hard to find a list of the most shorted stocks currently, and think that you can buy them "earlier" than GME. By Monday, several were already way up, although not as extreme.

I think the real world meaning of this, is that people shorted stocks that were perhaps in temporary distress, but many if not all of them could be saved if they got a lot of cash, which they can do, if they suddenly can sell stock at an inflated price. The short theses could have been self-fulfilling, but now things are going the other way. It's not really a violation of objective facts if the market decides to give these companies more capital. Who's to say they shouldn't get it? Especially with all the money showered on IPOs lately?

I used to think short selling was honorable, misunderstood, etc. but if it really is a self-fulfilling thing, maybe it isn't a social good, especially when the viability of a company is affected by the temporary situation with covid.

Maybe GME and similar should get a year's lifeline, for the good of all their stakeholders, because a lot could and almost certainly will change.

I'm also self taught (to an extent).

When I was making the transition to tech, I dived into the fundamentals very deeply with a collection of MOOCs (CS50 by Harvard is a great place to start regardless of your current skill level).

I also explored several MIT open courseware materials. There's a great experiment by this guy that's basically answering your questions directly: https://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/myprojects/mit-challenge-2/

If you're not familiar with object-oriented (OO) fundamentals, I'd probably start there since you're on the backend and will probably be exposed to OO eventually (perhaps already).
Yepp. It took me a long time to embrace the mindset that repeating things is sometimes way more elegant than unreadable abstractions. Dan Abramov's article [1] brilliantly put into words how I feel about DRY. It's a great heuristic, but still a heuristic.

Nope. We _just_ switched to Jira/Confluence from Notion+Trello (sigh), so we really don't have a complicated set up, and it is definitely "absolute dog shit" for performance. It is hands down the slowest tool I use. I've used it at large organizations with hundreds of devs and it's even worse. I regret not pushing back harder, since it is totally overkill for 1.5 PMs managing 3.5 devs.

> An advertisement that is not within the user's interest is wasted, rather than going to the competitor.

Not completely, if there is anything to the concept of "brand awareness" (and I believe there is, and a good chunk of advertisers do too). An ad that is not within user's interest still makes an imprint of the brand, product and vendor in their head. Later on, where user's interest change, that brand/product/vendor is a bit more likely to be recalled by them. A mistargeted ad is better than no ad at all.
Understood and agreed, at least in part. In the best case, short-sellers are the jackals/vultures that cull the weak and free up capital for new ventures. To the extent that shorts engage in reverse pump-and-dump, that is likely, too, to be inefficient.

It is my expectation that in the long term, both nefarious shorts and WSBers will lose to those working to create real value. It is simply unfortunate and perhaps unnecessary that the war between the chaos monkeys involves collateral damage. Such an environment adds reasons for successful companies to stay privately-traded, which is probably a net-negative for humanity.

"A mythological education is distinct from the common school subjects. It builds in the mind intuition for second-order effects, for the first lesson a child learns from one hundred stories is that every thing you do will have unintended consequences, something years of schoolwork fails to teach. Myths give us shared art and common culture—a set of characters with which we can play in and enjoy together. In any culture rich with myths, their vocabulary is enlarged far beyond words, to allegories and metaphors. The quality of thought follows."
